I'm not opposed to keeping advanced useful information around. In this case, though, it's not educational data. It's a set of magic incantations for mencoder. I'd much prefer to be able to refer someone to usable, well written mencoder documentation, or explain what the various arguments mean and what they're for. I'd prefer even more for mencoder to take the path of tablet-encode and provide a set of intelligent presets so that I don't even have to learn. > Maybe it should be split into simple/advanced sections perhaps, but a > lot of that information is useful. OK for a split. Care to help streamline things, and label the "behind the scenes" stuff as advanced/extra material?
